There is always a surefire way to tell the true Georgians from the tourists. No, we’re not talking about tourists in the sense of fanny packs and visors (although I did happen to wear them both on my trip to Florida when I was 5-years-old). What we mean when we say you can definitely spot a tourist in Georgia versus a visitor, is that there are absolute surefire ways to know the difference. And here are a few…

1. A tourist assumes everyone grows peaches in their backyards.
